Yesterday when I got off work I got a lot of work done! I put everything together!!! Tomorrow night I'll probably get it to start since today and tommorrow morning I'll have work.

Things I still have to do are to get clips for all the new vac lines, t off one of vac lines to plug up te last port on the vaccum block, find a bolt that will finally mate up the do and the mid pipe, bleed the brakes, get some gas, then I'll be able to crank and roll!!!

Hey! Thank a lot for the kind words! It's inspiring to see that there's still someone who goes through this thread.

I have done lots of things to the car since i've last posted. I'm actually trying to get the fully up and running to make it down to Mazdafest in Southern California

The car runs and everythings will hopefully be tuned for me to drive down there smoothly (fingers crossed).
Im in the process of having all the gauges installed then making sure i have all the connects soldiered and shrink wrapped.

I do need some help with starting the process of tuning. I notice that there hasn't been many people who have tuned there cars with the SSFTC. IF anyone else has any input or opinions, im gladly appreciated for any open words.

Just a few updates.

SO before trying to get my car ready for mazfest I was installing some gauges and the SSFTC. I ran into a couple of problems. I guess i have a grim-lin in my wiring that's not allowing me to load up a new map into the FTC. I'm getting errors like "signs of your motor still being on. Please sure you're engine is off when trying to write new maps" and the engine is not even close to being on! The car was running okay before i tried messing with the FTC.

So as of now, the motor turns over. The Fuel pressure sky rockets, and then the ecu is trying to stable it out, and then soon after it bogs down and stalls out.

I'm pretty stuck at the moment. On Tuesday I have a friend of mine coming to check out my wiring and hopefully he can fix my problems. I did all the wiring myself, but i know my friend can make it look a lot cleaner. =)

If you have possible solutions to my problems, I'd love to hear it. Opinions are always welcome in my thread. Thanks!
